Siena Fantini is curious about her ex’s new girl in her debut single Wanna Know Her Name — showcasing today on Tinnitist.
Seeing a former partner soft launch a new romantic relationship on social media can make you feel uneasy, and the natural urge that comes with wanting to know more about that new individual is unbearable. Fantini is here to get you through it with a pop anthem that finds her struck with jealousy when she sees a photo of another girl on an ex’s Instagram post. “The songs that make the most sense and feel the most honest are straight out of my diary,” Fantini shares.
“I was on the phone with one of my good friends a few days after Halloween. I was scrolling through Instagram, when I stumbled across my ex-boyfriend’s Halloween post. Obviously, I had to look through it. I went into it with an open mind because we had decided to stay friends, and we were doing a pretty good job of maintaining that promise, which I was really happy about. But then I got to the 17th slide…”
With Wanna Know Her Name, the emerging teen-pop artist creates a modern sound with earthier undertones. Recorded at Altamira Sound and written by Fantini, this reflective song came together with the help of Grammy-winning engineer and mixer Darrell Thorp (Foo Fighters, Radiohead) and producer / bassist Sean Hurley (John Mayer, Lana Del Ray). Propelled by an accomplished cast of musicians, the well-balanced instrumentation can be attributed to pianist Taylor Mackall (Lizzy McAlpine, Joni Mitchell), guitarist Harrison Whitford (Phoebe Bridgers, Noah Gundersen) and drummer Kiel Feher (Selena Gomez, Meghan Trainor).
A native of Los Angeles, Fantini grew up surrounded by music. “It was always a part of who I was,” she remembers.” Gravitating to the music of Taylor Swift, Gracie Abrams and Role Model, their influence is on display in Fantini’s vulnerable lyrics, appealing hooks, and eminently singable choruses that define her sonic soundscape. Fantini has found solace through music and songwriting, where audiences can expect newer pop anthems about nostalgia, growing up, insecurities, and the many facets of firsts that come with teenage love. Her debut is a formidable introduction to a committed artist with deep empathy, something real to convey, and a devotion to emotional authenticity.
